Serbia's leading Roma violinist Branko Ristic and UK accordionist Faith Ristic perform high-energy original Roma/Jazz influenced music with their International Quartet. 'Moving, breathtaking and virtuosic’ [BBC Radio 3]
Combining tabor pipe, double bass and guitar with the accordion and violin, Faith i Branko take audiences on a journey from melancholy Roma violin laments to storming Kolos and explorations into jazz improvisation, swing, Gypsy Rumba and Turkish and Indian influenced songs.
Expect a sensational, authentic experience of Roma music straight from the village of Gornja Grabovica, Serbia in these passionate, fiery and spirited performances!
Their albums feature on The Rough Guide to World Jazz; they have played multiple tours of Australia, New Zealand and Europe; have an International Award Winning Documentary that opened Aljazeera Film Festival, and have statues erected in Serbia in honour of their outstanding cultural contribution. It all began 15 years ago - without even a joint language - in a small village in Serbia.
Beat the Winter Blues and join us in The Barn at the Willow Globe - Sunday 26th February, 3pm - 5:30pm including interval.
Tickets: Adults £12, U16s £6, Family ticket (2 adults, 2 U16s) £30
